"Backstitch" -Millefiori
"I keep thinking of all sorts of things to do with this design - the "flat black" was at my husband's request (men! ;-D) I have an eye out for just the perfect fabric..."
Paula Marcondes commented on Tracy Thallas's photo"Backstitch" -Millefiori
"I completely agree with Tracy about the back stitch - can you imagine this pattern with some shading, with more threads( or thicker threads) in the border and with the midle in very fine thread or with just one?"

"Thanks! This can also be done with Holbein, pretty much perfectly reversible, but I like the extra texture backstitch brings to things that don't HAVE to be seen on both sides."

"I like the border - really good reading of the "inspiration piece". Graceful and delicate, this border deserve a very fine linen and silk threads!"

" Thanks! I spent two weeks staring at the original, looking for the place to start... :-D"

" Thanks! I was really pleased with it - can't wait to work it again in multi-color.
You can see (I hope!) the inspiration piece here-

Nancy said… - Hi Tracy. Your blackwork is simply amazing. I love the contrast between the dark thread and the white fabric and I love the geometrical designs. Just great.

Rosemary said… - Oh Tracey, I'm just stunned. Your work is amazing. When you are working on batiste etc, are you counting threads or using a waste canvas? I so love blackwork on clothing. Your archers shirt is a revelation though. Welcome and I'm looking forwards to seeing more of your work!
